Oui

There are few objects whose form reflects its function more than a
vibrator. For the most part, a vibrator is going to look like a cock,
whether it's long or short, thick or thin, with a small animal attached
to the shaft or a set of controls worthy of a household appliance. You
can call it a personal massagerall you want, but everyone knows where you're going to put it. This
form just makes these toys easily recognizable, which leads to
embarrassment when traveling with a "friend" or simply concealing it
somewhere in the house. Plus, despite the fact that frequently so much
of a woman's orgasm is tied into stimulation of her clit, most vibes are just made to be jammed in a pussy and jackhammered in and out.
That's where the Oui is very different. Small enough to fit even in a woman's palm at just a few inches across and about a half-inch thick, the Oui looks like a flat rock you might skip across a pond, only with a
brushed-metal look (three other colors are out there) and a small
indent on the side, where the power button sits (turning on the one AAA
battery it uses.) With its large flat surface, it gives plenty of
coverage if you just want to smack it up against a clit and buzz the hell out of it, thanks to a pretty strong vibration
(though it's not adjustable, like many recent devices for sale.) If the
lady on the receiving end of this unique tool doesn't get off via the
man in the boat though, this won't do much for her, as it's not a toy
for internal use. This is strictly all about touching on the outside,
but it does that trick very well, and the rounded edges will let you
explore just beyond the surface if you so desire (and you probably
will.) The key here when using it as a couple is that you're not at a
dick's distance from touching. Instead, you're right up against the
skin and sharing the vibration.
The concept is pretty high-end
among the vibrator set, and the packaging it arrives in just cements
that status, with an impressive foil-embossed two-part black box free
of any obnoxiously displayed vaginas or porn star come-ons. Inside, you get the Oui,
along with an attractive translucent black bag to hold it, which
unfortunately might draw more attention at the airport x-ray machine
that just throwing the massager in your purse. It's probably the first vibrator intended to deliver
orgasms that no one could guess the purpose of. Despite the limited
uses, nice work on the part of California Exotic Novelties to come up
with a genuinely discreet sex toy.
